The room and buildings were beautiful. The service varied. Sometimes very good, sometimes stand offish but professional. The service at the poolside was a bit rude. Our request for napkins when we received some food was met with eye rolling for example. The food was 3/5. One exception was the afternoon tea which was wonderful.

Disappointing stay. Property is definitely trading on its history and is in dire need of updating. Room issues were not addressed and breakfast was so poor that we went out instead. Assistant manager called once and then never followed up. Would not stay again and wouldn't recommend.

I recently stayed at the E&O Penang and overall had a very good experience. The room itself was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well kept. I needed a few extra items like towels, and although I had to ask, the staff responded quickly and efficiently, which I really appreciated. One area that could be improved is the food offering. The room service menu is quite limited, especially late at night. Arriving back at the hotel around 11:30pm to find the bars and restaurants closed left very few options, which was a little disappointing for a hotel of this standard. Some of the common areas, particularly around the pool and outdoor spaces, are starting to show their age and could benefit from a refresh. It would also be great to see more variety in the food choices across the hotel, especially more local Asian options. Overall, though, it’s a solid 4 out of 5 stay — classic, comfortable, and with excellent service when needed. With a few updates and broader dining options, it could easily reach a 5.
